Components for Londonia. 2013 Fiona Tan Description To complement the design of the 4 architecture types, components that celebrate and emphasize the daily quirks of the citizens to New London are used to educate and introduce new ways of living. The Piano stairs An important component of the compost toilet. Light bulbs within the cubicles are lit by running up and down the stairs, encouraging mutual cooperation in order to use the toilet. The balancing-act table The balancing-act table aims to encourage common social etiquette and table manners. Made of a series of pulleys and counterweights, it operates and responds according to user behaviour. Designed to fold on itself when ones table partner gets up to leave, it reduces and eventually eliminates the frequency of excusing oneself from the table prematurely. Peanut-counter clock The main clock tower of Londonia shall be used to keep time and more importantly, keep account of the daily peanut-yields of the workhouse. Powered by 125 donkeys on treadwheels for a 12 hour work cycle, peanuts are deposited into the billboard boxes as a means of keeping time. The seed sower bicycle All activities in Londonia must be taken for the greater good of the society. The boris bikes shall be replaced with the seed sower bicycle, ensuring that every journey is productively contributing to the cultivation or irrigation of food crops. The hamster wheel lightbulb Suitable for children ages 7-11, the hamster wheel lightbulb is located within the playground of the School of social etiquette. The frivolity of play for the sake of selfish pleasure is frowned upon in New London. Similar to other playground equipment within the compound, beyond a form of after class entertainment, the hamster wheel serves the important function of lighting up the lightbulbs in the dining hall. The hamster wheel treadmill can power 3 60W light bulbs with each revolution for 5 minutes. Link: fiona-tan.net/150913/1503379/gallery/components-for-londonia
